Student Sentenced To Workhouse For Uptown Hit-And-Run

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 19-year-old University of Minnesota student was sentenced earlier this week to 180 days in the county workhouse after pleading guilty to seriously injuring a man in a Minneapolis hit-and-run last June.

They located the SUV after finding that an insurance claim was filed for an accident around the same time as the hit-and-run. In the claim, it said the SUV hit a deer.

As a result of the guilty plea, Braunschweig was sentenced to 190 days in the Hennepin County workhouse. He is eligible for work release, but he must remain drug-and-alcohol free, and submit to random tests.
